Just him all required breaks have finished and they are in full training from now on
He must be loving not having to deal with off field drama and 2am phone calls

Apparently yes. Sully90 is going to give us the greatest training report the world has ever seen

Intraclub is 9.15am tomorrow.
Mr Sully90 has also said this and therefore there is no greatest training report the world has ever seen.

From my understanding, Sully asked them to move the sim to tomorrow since the pressure of the training report got to him
 
Just had a look at the training this morning. A lot of focus on transitioning the ball, with urgency, which was good to see. It's what I was going to look out for if they had a scratchie on today.

Also, after watching the speccie practice the forwards and a few others were having, I'm not sure if there's anyone of the up-and-comers that we should hope to succeed more than Kuek. He's got a great spring and oozes dynamism when going at that pill and an overactive X-factorus gland.

Overactive X-factorus gland must be responsible for his high metabolism. I’m sure Kuek has 0% body fat.

Looking forward to seeing what he does with Peel this season.

Ok he's not much chance of being nicknamed barge-arse in anything but irony, but he's certainly a lot less snapable now as to what he was not so long ago.

What I was impressed by was more what's in there... and should he get there... I'm thinking wow.
 
Not much at all to report from training today as arsesmart has said. Very limited goings on in the time I was there.

Cox, Emmett, Wagner and Benning in a running group not doing the drills etc. All looked comfortable enough (if that's possible when pumping out repeat laps) and look to be building towards full training resumption rather than actually carrying anything at the moment. I'd say they'll all be back in FT pretty soon. Wagner runs a lot like Colyer. Not as fast but a similar gait, hadn't noticed that before.

I agree the ball movement thing looked good and also agree on Kuek. Bit more of that lean muscle on him and it'll be very interesting to see what he's capable of. If it were me I'd sign him up until end of next year and check how he's going then.

Once training finished I got stuck on a call and when I left about 20mins after the end of the session, I saw Emmett out there doing extra work on his goal kicking. Set shots and snaps. He's very compact, easy and neat in his set shots. When he gets games I'd bet those in the seats around you he kicks any set shots as it looks like he's very accurate. Bet early because that's when the inside info will work best. Snaps weren't as good today but his sets were very solid.

I was also pleased to see Benning back out there doing extra running and conditioning work. I heard the S&C guy with him say something as they were doing the run throughs that indicated Roy had asked for the extra work himself which is good.

That's it for the day. I'll hopefully be popping along tomorrow to have a look.

Cheers mate. Great to hear Benning is putting in the extra yards. Those TI comparisons from his draft highlights package have really got me hoping he can make a good fist of it.

No shortage of skill on the Benning front, that's for sure. He looked a little laboured at times, whether he was hurting from recovery/injury, effort or fitness gap, is open to interpretation.
 
As Snuff said, when I got there the pressure of the situation got to them and they moved the match sim to tomorrow when I'm not available. Smart.

Just some bog standard drills that everyone took part in, didn't seem to be specifically for forwards, def or midfield. Just a whole bunch of keepies off and reacting to spilled marks.

Brayshaw, Serong and Young all looked business as usual. Nothing to suggest that three of them won't keep improving this year. Cox ran laps. Pearce Fyfe and Tabs all didn't take part but sat around the sidelines looking pretty in the training singlet. O'meara likewise didn't do too much. Walters looks as fit and focused as advertised.

A couple of the forwards and Young took turns marking over one of the training coached with the bag on. If Kuek ever makes it to AFL level he's going to take some speccies. Young and Amiss got up for a few as well. Treacy took part but his leap isn't great, definite extra strain on the poor assistant coach though whenever his knee made contact. Banfield took one really good one in the time that I was watching.

So very low-key for my first training appearance ever. When we win the flag this year you can all thank me.

Same as me

Is it at ARC or Freo?
